Klappentext
Praise for GOVERNANCE IN THE DIGITAL AGE "The business landscape today requires diverse and informed perspectives more than ever before and a new level of foresight, insight, and oversight from directors. This book is filled with valuable data, case studies, and a practical framework that will assist boards in navigating this transformational time with all the opportunities, challenges, and risks it presents." Anita Sands, PhD, Board Director for Symantec, ServiceNow, Pure Storage and ThoughtWorks "If you think governance is much the same as it's always been, stop reading nowthis book isn't for you. But if you are a board member experiencing a rapidly increasing volume and velocity of information, a shifting governance and risk landscapeand you are feeling the pull of multiple stakeholder communitiesthis is an invaluable read." Leslie Campbell, Board Director for Coupa Software and PetMed Express "Too many corporate boards 'talk the talk' with respect to overseeing digital transformation in their companies, yet few 'walk the walk' in their own boardrooms. Board members must keep pace with transformation in the boardroom as technologies dictate, and this book is a good roadmap!" T. K. Kerstetter, CEO and Show Host, Boardroom Resources and Co-founder and Editor-at-Large, Corporate Board Member "We live in exponential times. Never before have we seen the rate and pace of digital disruption impact multiple industries all at once. Directors need to navigate these extraordinary times by bringing fresh thinking to the boardroom to effectively fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities. This book provides valuable insights, best practices, and practical ideas to up your game in the digital age." Sara Mathew, Former Chair and CEO, Dun & Bradstreet, and current Board Director for State Street, Shire, Freddie Mac, and Campbell Soup Company "The pace of global change is accelerating at rates never experienced before, dramatically impacting the role of corporate boards.
